Barquero Page #5

Synopsis: Jake Remy leads a gang of outlaw cutthroats making their escape toward Mexico from a successful robbery. Barring their way is a river--crossable only by means of a ferry barge. The barge operator, Travis, refuses to be bullied into providing transport for the gang and escapes across river with most of the local populace--leaving Remy and his gang behind, desperately seeking a way across. A river-wide stand-off begins between the gang and the townspeople, both groups of which have left people on the wrong side of the river.

- That's my barge.

And nobody is gonna burn it.

Not you, not Remy.

Wolf is wolf and sheep is sheep.

You should not look for your grave, Fire Eyes.

Hey.

Why not have delivered you from settlers

and throw on with me? How would you like that?

- It sounds good.

- Will, come on! - Not now.

You mean... you're going to

make a stand with a bunch of squatters?

My ass...

with a bunch of settlers?

Don't you know that in a few years,

they gonna push us out of this wilderness?

- There won't be no wilderness.

- She's right.

There will only be settlers everywhere.

All of them plows the ground, and dropping fence posts...

It makes me sick to think about it even.

And you want to help them?

I don't give a damn about them.

Well... if he is bound to stay...

I'm gonna stay with you.

But I don't like it!

Wolf is wolf and sheep is sheep.

You may stay with them, but

they ain't gonna stay with you.

Afternoon.

If I see you even breathe,

then I'm gonna cut your throat.

Don't blame me then. You understand?

Yes, swallow is alright.

Damn barge!

Jacob... don't you think we could...

divide the money now and

let everybody go his own way?

- No.

- Why not?

Because we're gonna take that barge

and cross the river...

As we set out to do!

Jacob, this morning we massacred an American town.

- By now half of Fort Bowie is coming after us.

- It don't matter.

Before they get here, we will have crossed

with the wagons and burned the barge.

You are assuming a lot. You know...

the only thing that kept our men together,

was the need for violence and money.

This morning they got their share of the violence.

Now, all they want is

their share of money and to split up.

Hell...

- And you?

- Yes Jacob, I do too.

Will you listen to me, damn it.

I kept that bastards together after

they got whipped down in Cajuilla.

I did it! Because I know how!

And I know how to make us rich.

Jacob. we are rich. Let us stay that way.

We separate here and now.

Why take a chance we may not get the barge?

You and me are going to take our stuff

across that river. And that's it!

We will have power, you and me...

You will be important, Marquette.

Your brains and me leading...

We'll have men, guns.

Money! Power!

An empire!

- You think about that, Marquette?

- I am...

- Maybe you're right.

- Damn right, I am right.

You know, Jacob... You and me. We're like...

- supplementary angles.

- Hm?

It's basic trigonometry. It is short

for an angle of complete 180 degrees.

You and me... We each got an angle...

Alone, we are short...

Together, 180 degrees.

A whole hemisphere.

Don't shoot! It's me, Jacob Remy.

All right, Happy?

You are awesome pretty. Awesome pretty.
